What teachers at Umniqophiso pre-primary in Lwandle, Strand, has to say about Imibala echaza ibali:

“We are very exited about the book because it makes everything clear and understandable. It helped us to have a better understanding of the message of the Bible, of what happened many years ago before and after Jesus was born.

The ideas are so useful because they integrate general things that are happening in our daily lives, so it’s easy for the children and teachers to use the book. It is written in a way that helps adults and children understand the Bible better.

Through this book our children have grown in knowing God and how the Bible teaches us how to live our lives. They learnt about how special they are to God and how to talk to God. The songs, rhymes, activities and games in the book helped them to grow in various skills and have improved their language.

The fact that the book is available in Xhosa is very good. Adults who do not understand English can now teach Xhosa speaking learners at school, in our churches and in groups in our communities about the importance of the Word of God.”
